I want to buy gifts for the ER staff from BH. I was an ER nurse and don't want to give the typical gifts of a bag or a mug. There are male and female staff members and we are including nursing and non nursing staff. I have been wracking my brain. Ideas???

Booze. Lots of it.

For real, maybe some coffee house gift cards?

(I know GOOD coffee in an ER is like gold)

Anti stress items
coffee gift cards

If your BH a doc or in a supervisor position then maybe cater in a meal for the staff or set up a table of gifts in the breakroom.

Think of the haters in your life as sandpaper; they’ll scratch you up time and time again but in the end you’re polished, smooth, and spotless..while they end up useless

I have a staff of 14 mostly 20-something kids. I'm giving them all a gift bag of a 'dinner-on-me': I bought jars of Trader Joe's pasta sauce, a package of TJ's spaghetti and boxes of Jello (because everyone loves jello )

May your 2015 be more FUCK YEAH! than fuck this

Super small town so no coffee houses.

Maybe anti stress gift baskets?

Movie passes, Target gift cards, or insulated tumblers with lids and straws. Seriously love the tumblers and have gotten so many people hooked. They are the most amazing thing ever

I like the tumblers filled with m&ms idea. And BH just mentioned that someone at work said they would like personalized pens because they are always stealing each other's pens. I will do some research on best pens I can get personalized.
